I wonder if anyone could enlighten me about the display to the right of the assist levels on the Bosch Intuvia? This is the bar chart that increases as you apply more pressure to the pedals and when you go up through the assist levels. Doers it measure battery usage, power output, torque? Are these the same for each assist level? So, if I get a reading for eco and another about the same for tour are they commensurate readings?
Thanks.

it shows you how much assist you are getting from the motor and max out at 120rpm

Mine frequently goes to the top in Tour mode on relatively mild hills (6-8%?), with me not pushing that hard or pedalling that fast. It seems about as meaningful as the range reading based on much too little past history.

I'd just assumed it shows how much power is being drawn from the battery. I'd like clarification on this as well please if anyone knows for sure....

I tend to think its either a current drawn, or a power used, indication.
I have one on my LCD....
About the only use that I see is that it can help in being careful of power usage and extending range per charge.
Of course if a short circuit occurred, then it would most likely goto and stay at max display..... Then switch off/disconnect the battery in such cases....
Maybe someone can point out some other uses for us all.....
